I really wish people would get off the whole crop circle thing. It’s been proven, years and years ago that a medium to large group of people with ropes and 2X4’s can make any design they want. As long as they have the talent and break down the design to assign each person a different section.

They’re NOT made by aliens. These circle-making people do this to get attention and by putting it on websites like this, they’re getting exactly what they want.

I found this paragraph from Time magazine:

Two cropcircle hoaxers have confessed. D. Chorley and D. Bower have admitted that they have made as many as 25-30 fake crop circles per year, since 1978, including some of the bizarre ones. All they needed was a 4-foot wooden plank, a ball of string, and a baseball cap with a wire mounted on it for sighting purposes. It was all too easy! And, they assure us, other hoaxers were active in fields at night, too. This is indeed damaging evidence to crop-circle enthusiasts. Time concluded that the admissions of Chorley and Bower have “brought to an end one of the most popular mysteries Britain — and the world — has witnessed in years.” (Constable, Anne; “It Happens in the Best of Circles,” Time, 138:59, September 23, 1991.)

If two people can fool the public, imagine a group of 20 people making these crop designs.

Interesting.

What if (however) all of those old stories in Time magazine 1991 were not true, and simply disinformation?
